Composted versus Raw Olive Mill Waste as Substrates for the Production of Medicinal Mushrooms: An Assessment of Selected Cultivation and Quality Parameters

Abstract: Two-phase olive mill waste (TPOMW, “alperujo”) is a highly biotoxic sludge-like effluent of the olive-oil milling process with a huge seasonal production. One of the treatment approaches that has so far received little attention is the use of TPOMW as substrate for the cultivation of edible mushrooms. Fifteen fungal strains belonging to five species (Basidiomycota), that is, Agrocybe cylindracea, Pleurotus cystidiosus, P. eryngii, P. ostreatus, and P. pulmonarius, were evaluated for their efficacy to colonize … Show more

“…Similarly, Zervakis, et al [49] evaluated the use of two-phase olive mill wastes (TPOMWs) in the growth substrates of different Pleurotus species. When composted media were used the authors obtained a better yield, especially at low TPOMWs concentrations (20-40% for composted media and 20% for raw TPOMWs): the composting process, in fact, leads to a detoxification of the original material.…”

“…For example, the use of microorganisms could result in both the detoxification of the effluent and the generation of value-added products, for example, xanthan gum, citric acid, ethanol, antioxidants, polyhydroxyalkanoates, b-glucan, lipase, single cell oil, and edible biomass [818]. …”

“…Hindered mycelia growth during incubation period as well as decrease of fruiting bodies yield on OOPC containing substrates could be the consequence of polyphenols contained in OOPC (Lakhtar et al, 2010;Zervakis et al 2013). Beside polyphenolic compounds, a low porosity of OOPC and consequently lower substrate aeration and low water retaining capacity could be the reason for slower mycelial growth and lowered yields of fruiting bodies.…”

“…On the other hand fungal species and strains ability to utilize OOPC, or exposition to higher content of polyphenolic compounds in the substrate could have a significant influence on fruiting body yields. Strain characteristics tend to strongly influence mycelial growth as well as quantity and quality of produced fruiting bodies (Diehle and Royse, 1986;Royse and Bahler, 1986 (Zervakis et al, 2013).…”
